Enjoying reading your comments....I love Ms. Flemings voice and interpretation, but Ms Struders seems timber seems perfectly suited to this mystical and sorrowful song......I listen to her rendering over and over and feel its emotion each time as if I were hearing it for the first time
@JordanSean: Apologies once more if I sounded snappy in the first or second comment. I hate sounding snappy. I understand your frustration with Scalatti and did not understand the history of the occasion.
On a side note, which *do* you prefer? I can't decide, myself. I like both for different aspects and decisions :p
I am a little complacent on this as well. I think Studer's voice is PERFECTLY suited to this piece; her diction is fantastic and she finishes so beautifully. What's not to love? But Renee is able to convey such a sense of warmth and intimacy, even with her large and dominating voice! Honestly, both are amazing!
@heartofsorrow and @JordanSean I commend you both on politeness and civility toward one another. It seems that so many people take internet communication as an excuse to be needlessly crass and rude. You, on the other hand, have both taken extra steps not to offend each other. You two are a breath of fresh air!
@Jordan Sean: I don't know about necessary but it is important to know that there is more than Renee Fleming to these arias. I like both Fleming's and Studer's interpretation for different reasons but don't necessarily like one over the other. And one isn't even better than the other, it's just a matter of preference...
@heartofsorrow Excuse me, but I was referring to Scalatti's nature to excessively spam Renee Fleming videos with hateful and unnecessary comments. Cheryl Studer's interpretation is beautiful, I do not disagree. Music is always subjective, and clearly a matter of preference. That is simply not the point I was trying to make!

Cheryl Studer's sublime and yet-to-be-matched interpretation is now in my channel.
